MOVEMENT IN ENGLAND. NO GOVERNMENT GRANT. (British Official Wireless.) & X (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) RUGBY, December 3. (Received Dec. 4, at 5,5 p.m.) The Prime Minister (Mr Ramsay MacDonald), in the House of Commons to-day, was asked whether, in view of the fact that £IOO,OOO had been collected from 50,000 subscribers to the Imperial League of Opera, the Government intended to give assistance in establishing national opera. While depressing the warmest sympathy with the Opera League’s aims, the Prime Minister regretted that he could not promise it a grant from the public funds.
